Why transporter recovery is often the safer choice for automatic, AWD and 4x4 vehicles.
Do not assume an automatic can be dragged.
Modern automatic, AWD, EV and 4x4 drivetrains can be damaged by incorrect towing. The handbook and drivetrain layout matter. A transporter keeps the driven wheels off the road and is often the sensible recovery method.
If the transmission is locked.
Tell us if the selector will not move from Park or the wheels are locked. Recovery skates or other loading techniques may be needed rather than forcing the drivetrain.
